My Broccoli heart got destroyed by the writing

*Happy ending for all couples*

First off, the premise is a massive click bait for me. The first few episodes are hot, emotional and exciting. However, as the episodes go on, it became a bit dull for me. The actors' acting are what kept me going.

At the latter episodes, especially the last few episodes, I felt that they are trying to fit almost every BL concept we know of into 12 episodes:

One is that we have 5 couples in this series, all with different issues and all issues are solved in one to two episode (which is about 11-12) which gave a feeling of being rushed and too much. Also, because of that, there was not much focus on WinTeam.

Secondly, most issues discussed in this series are deep, but then they are all solved haphazardly? The scenes are too short, and it made the resolutions of each story too subpar.

Other things I didn't like are that of WaanTul couple. The story about them is great, the actors are great, but the romance thing, doesnt work for me. They kiss too awkwardly and it shows onscreen. They got together so rushed as well. So weird. BeePrince couple acted more romantic than them.

Same goes for PhruekManow couple. My Lovesick heart jumped for joy when Sammy finally got an onscreen partner who will love her and not just have her for comedic effect. However, I feel no connection to the couple they acted in.

By the time of episode 9, I am already watching the series with a deadpan face. The story writing really destroyed my broccoli heart.


However,

BounPrem's acting are chef's kiss. I really cried in their crying scenes even though I can't relate much to their issues. Boun is also very hot and I can feel his love to Team. I finished the 12 episodes because of them.

All in all, I suggest you to try and watch it. It's good, but I'm sorry my beloved BounPrem, I will not rewatch it again.
